Patriots Rival Identified As Ideal Fit For Javonte Williams This Offseason

The Patriots beat the Jets 42-10 on Sunday, showing that both franchises are moving in opposite directions. New England is getting ready for a playoff run while New York is gearing up to start thinking about its offseason plans.

One area the Jets will need to consider upgrading is the running back position, as Breece Hall will be a free agent. If New York doesn’t bring Hall back, it could look to sign a veteran free agent to replace him.

Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay labeled Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams as a fit for the Jets and even predicted...

Patriots Power Rankings: Pats Jet up the ranks heading into Week 18

The 2026 season has been wildly entertaining. For Patriots fans, the past five years have been a Bizarro-world existence. After the glorious Brady-Belichick era ended we were all given an “It’s a Wonderful Life” chance to see what life is like as Jets fans. Spoiler: It stinks.

Most of the experts have watched the Patriots’ rise and, after weeks of convincing, have been able to get over the easy-schedule hump that dismisses it. Diante Lee of The Ringer is a doubter. To be fair, I wouldn’t throw my grandson out on the thin, untested ice that is this new regime’s...

Insider Names Wild-Card Matchup Patriots ‘Should Want’

The New England Patriots are still hoping to earn the AFC’s No. 1 seed for the playoffs and a first-round bye.

Patriots’ TreVeyon Henderson Earns Honor After Breakout Season

Patriots’ TreVeyon Henderson Earns Honor After Breakout Season

One of the key factors behind the Patriots’ success this season has been rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson. New England selected Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Henderson has been so good that ESPN’s Ben Solak named him to his All-Rookie team on Tuesday.

“On a down-to-down basis, Henderson has not been as consistent as several other rookie backs this season,” Solak wrote. “He misses lanes as a runner, and despite his reputation as an elite pass protector, he has some errors in that capacity. With that said, the way he creates yardage with the ball...

Mike Vrabel Praises Young Patriots Star’s Remarkable Growth

Most 23-year-olds are near the bottom of the totem pole in their company, learning new skills and jobs after graduating college.

Not Drake Maye. He’s only in his second NFL season, but he’s already leading the New England Patriots as their best and most important player, both on the field and off.

That’s the job description of being an NFL quarterback, and Maye has handled it spectacularly. He’s helped lead the Patriots to a historic turnaround and a playoff berth this year despite being one of the youngest players on the team.

On Tuesday’s episode of “The Herd” with Colin...
